INTERNATIONAL LASAGNA DAY!

                                        INTERNATIONAL LASAGNA DAY!
                                 WHO'S HUNGRY?

You don’t have to be Italian or a fat, orange cartoon cat to celebrate National Lasagna Day on July 29. Tomato sauce, cheeses, meat, and vegetables — all separated by wide flat noodles — what’s not to love? Lasagna first showed up in Naples, Italy during the Middle Ages and made it to America in the 19th century. Since then, Americans have made it all their own. So this National Lasagna Day, head to your favorite Italian restaurant, or pre-heat the oven and make your own.

Try a new recipe

Since there are so many different options for cooking lasagna, you should have little problem finding a great new recipe. If you want to try a lasagna with meatballs or even straight up vegetarian, you’ll easily find recipes for both. You may end up finding a new variety that you like even better than grandma’s. (Just don’t tell her.)

It's gooey and delicious

Lasagna is a mess to make and a mess to eat — and that’s part of the reason it’s so great. So many times when preparing and enjoying food, people make too much out of the way it looks. But lasagna naturally spreads out when it’s free from the pan, with layers going everywhere. So don’t be neat and tidy on National Lasagna Day. Just have a napkin on stand by!
